TECHNICAL FIELD

The present application relates to the field of information technology, and in particular, to a monocular vision tracking method, apparatus and a non-volatile computer-readable storage medium.

BACKGROUND

Monocular vision tracking is an underlying core technology of computer vision applications, such as three-dimensional object reconstruction, Augmented Reality (AR) camera tracking and the like. Objective evaluation of the tracking accuracy of monocular vision tracking is a core indicator to measure the pros or cons of an algorithm. At present, vision tracking technology, such as Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) or Visual Odometry (VO), are almost measured by using an absolute translation error (ATE) and a relative pose error (RPE). At present, the method for building monocular camera tracking database may include: introducing a 3D laser tracker, an inertial measurement unit (IMU), a stereo camera, or a Vicon for determination of a camera true pose. Generally, the camera true pose is obtained by using the Iterative Closest Point (ICP) Algorithm based on a three dimensional (3D) laser, a structure from motion (SFM) of a stereo camera, or a tracking sensor of a Vicon. Among them, the 3D laser tracker and the Vicon are expensive and not suitable for pre-research work in ordinary laboratories; the IMU and the stereo camera also require higher cost when achieving high performance requirements. Some commonly used public datasets are used in concentrated scenarios, such as in-vehicle scenarios for capturing data, or a few of single indoor scenarios. Techniques for large-scale multi-scenario applications, such as AR camera tracking, use these data for testing, resulting in a poor simulation of a user usage scenario.

The disadvantages of the existing technology mainly refer to the following aspects:

1) The devices used are costly and are not suitable for ordinary pre-research or preliminary evaluation;

2) The acquisition device used is time-synchronized based on hardware, which is difficult to implement for general developers;

3) It is assumed that the camera imaging model is unchanged, however in reality, on a mobile platform, the camera focal length cannot be fixed due to an anti-shake module of a mobile phone hardware, thereby reducing the estimation accuracy of a camera pose true value.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

In the following, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As can be recognized by those skilled in the art, the described embodiments may be modified in various different ways without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application. Accordingly, the accompanying drawings and description should be essentially considered as illustrative rather than restrictive.

A monocular vision tracking method is provided according to an embodiment of the present application. FIG. 1 is an overall frame diagram of a monocular vision tracking method according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 1, a monocular vision tracking method according to an embodiment of the present application includes: in step S110, acquiring a first camera pose by using a wireless tracker; in step S120, capturing calibration board images by using a camera, and calculating a second camera pose according to the captured calibration board images; in step S130, obtaining a conversion parameter between the first camera pose and the second camera pose; in step S140, converting a first capturing pose into a second capturing pose by means of the conversion parameter when a scenario is captured, wherein the first capturing pose is acquired by the wireless tracker, and the second capturing pose corresponds to a pose of the camera; wherein a relative position between the wireless tracker and the camera remains unchanged, in processes of acquiring the first camera pose, capturing the calibration board images and capturing the scenario.

Regarding a method for constructing a monocular vision camera tracking database, in implementations of the exiting technology, a plurality of high-performance sensors which are costly are mostly combined together to obtain a camera pose. In order to enable a user to acquire a personalized database at a low cost, a method for constructing a monocular vision camera tracking database at low cost using a camera and a wireless tracker is provided according to an embodiment of the present application. Among them, the camera can adopt an ordinary mobile phone, and the wireless tracker can adopt a VR (Virtual Reality) head-mounted tracker, such as an HTC vive tracker. Data are acquired by using the HTC vive tracker, a first camera pose is output, and a second camera pose is calculated in a camera calibration algorithm based on a calibration board image captured by a mobile phone camera, and then a conversion parameter between the first camera pose and the second camera pose is obtained according to the first camera pose and the second camera pose. After the conversion parameter is obtained, it is then possible to perform a corresponding conversion of the pose of the vive tracker in terms of time and space when capturing an actual usage scenario, for example, typical interactive scenarios for an AR user such as a desktop or a ground and the like, thereby obtaining a camera pose during an image acquisition.

The above technical solutions have the following advantages or beneficial effects: by means of a camera and a wireless tracker, a monocular vision camera tracking database may be acquired and a true value of a pose of a camera may be constructed, devices used are no longer costly and are suitable for ordinary pre-research or preliminary evaluation, and a user usage scenario may be well simulated.

In an implementation of a monocular vision tracking method according to the present application, the calculating a second camera pose according to the captured calibration board images includes: performing a parameter normalization for the calibration board images captured by the camera to convert the calibration board images based on different imaging model parameters into calibration board images with same imaging model parameters; and calculating the second camera pose in the camera calibration algorithm, based on the calibration board images performed with the parameter normalization.

In a possible implementation, the entire technical solution is divided into two steps: step 1: normalization for camera parameters; step 2: registration for the pose of the camera and that of the HTC vive tracker in terms of time and space.

The parameter normalization refers to a conversion of the images acquired by the camera to the ones with same imaging model parameters in the case where model imaging parameters at different times are known. Specifically, a rear camera of a mobile phone can be used as a camera.

Imaging model parameters include camera internal parameters including a focal length of a camera, position information of a main point, and a distortion parameter. The focal length of a camera and the position information of a main point can be represented by a camera imaging matrix.

In this process, a mobile operating system that supports the real-time acquisition of camera parameters can be used. Under the premise of ignoring the distortion coefficient of a camera, it is assumed a target camera imaging matrix is K_(t), the camera imaging matrix, when the image of the i-th frame is acquired by the camera, is K_(i). The current image is I_(i)(u, v), and the converted image corresponding to K_(t) is I_(t)(u, v), then the following formula is established:

I _(t)(u,v)=K _(t) K _(i) ⁻¹(u,v).

Since the focal length of the camera and the position information of the main point may be changed within a certain range during the images are acquired by the camera at different times, a certain strategy may be used to select a uniform value, such as an intermediate value or an average value, to determine the focal length and the position information of the main point, to construct the target camera imaging matrix K_(t), thereby converting the images acquired by the camera into the ones with same imaging model parameters.

After the camera model normalization is completed, these images performed with the parameter adjustment are input to step 2.

In addition, this step of a parameter normalization may be omitted for a camera with fixable camera imaging parameters.

In step 2, by registration for the pose of the camera and that of the HTC vive tracker in terms of time and a space, it is here assumed that the camera imaging model is unchanged, the synchronization solution in terms of time and space for the camera and the HTC vive is detailed described in the following. FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a monocular vision tracking method according to a preferred embodiment provided by the present application. With reference to FIG. 2, the step 2 particularly includes:

1) Placing a HTC vive base and a checkerboard in the environment, and keeping the positions of both the base station and the checkerboard unchanged during the entire calibration process. Similarly, the HTC vive tracker and the camera are fixed together, and a relative position between them cannot be changed during data acquisition. Hereinafter, an acquisition and registration process will be described by using a rear camera of a mobile phone as the camera.

2) Constructing a pose acquisition system for the HTC vive tracker, wherein every data (T_(j), A_(j)) corresponds to one timestamp. T_(j) indicates system time of the acquisition system when the j-th data is acquired by the HTC vive; A_(j) indicates the position and the pose of the tracker output at this time. The position here is track information, which converts the camera coordinate into a world coordinate, namely a conversion of camera to world.

3) Constructing a camera data acquisition platform on a mobile side, wherein each frame corresponds to a time stamp during acquisition. Acquisition data on the mobile side is represented by (t_(i), I_(i)), wherein t_(i) indicates system time at which the i-th frame image is acquired on the mobile side, and I_(i) is the i-th frame image. The capturing object is a calibration board, which can be a checkerboard, or other forms of a calibration board.

4) Selecting a set of images for the captured checkerboard automatically or manually to calibrate camera parameters.

In one embodiment of a monocular vision tracking method according to the present application, the calculating a second camera pose according to the captured calibration board images further includes: selecting a set of images from the captured calibration board images according to image sharpness and camera pose difference; calculating a second camera pose in the camera calibration algorithm according to the selected set of images.

The automatic selection will be performed under the condition that the selected image sharpness and the camera pose (position and attitude) difference satisfy a certain threshold. Usually, an image with great difference is selected, wherein the camera pose difference may include a displacement, a rotation, a scale, or a distance toward the distortion in three directions between every two selected images.

Particularly, distances between a current image and the selected images are obtained firstly, so that a distance with the smallest value is determined. If the distance is greater than a threshold, the image is selected for camera calibration; otherwise, the next image is determined.

The distance between two images refers to a difference between two images. The distance between two images is defined as: the normalized offset of a center of gravity x of the angular points in the image, the normalized offset of a center of gravity y, a sum of the difference between the normalized area of the quadrilateral enclosed by the angular points and the deviation of the defined orientation angle.

The threshold is generally defined as between 0.2 and 0.4. In a case that a threshold is too high, the number of images selected will be small. In a case that a threshold is too low, the calibration images will be too dense and the similarity is too high, and the number of images will be too large, which increases the insignificant calculation.

5) Obtaining a camera pose (t_(k), B_(k)) corresponding to each frame of the set of images.

At this step, a phone is used to capture the checkerboard and the camera calibration algorithm is used to calculate the camera pose.

6) Fixing the time difference, performing the hand-eye calibration, and performing the optimization by means of the re-projection error.

The time difference between the time of the phone system and of the vive acquisition system is fixed. This is because the two systems acquire independently and are not accurately synchronized, so there exists a time difference. A registration is performed by means of the hand-eye calibration after obtaining the corresponding data. Taking the re-projection error as a criterion, the optimal correspondence (X, Z) in the case of the current time difference is obtained, and the optimal re-projection error corresponding to the timestamp is recorded.

A purpose of the hand-eye calibration is to obtain a conversion matrix between coordinate systems, including a conversion matrix X between the coordinate system of the pose of the camera and the coordinate system of the pose of the tracker, a conversion matrix Z between the coordinate system of the checkerboard and the base station.

The re-projection error refers to the difference between the projection (that is, a pixel on the image) and the re-projection (actually a virtual pixel obtained by means of the calculated value) of a real three-dimensional point on an image plane. Because of various reasons, the calculated value is not exactly matched with a value in an actual situation, that is, the difference cannot be exactly 0, thereby it is necessary to minimize the sum of these differences to obtain optimal camera parameters and coordinates of the three-dimensional space points.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a hand-eye calibration solution of a monocular vision tracking method provided by the present application. As shown in FIG. 3, both the HTC vive and the calibration board have their own coordinate systems respectively, which are now unified into a same coordinate system. In FIG. 3, A represents the pose of the HTC vive tracker in the HTC vive system, X represents the conversion matrix by means of which the coordinate system of the camera is converted into the coordinate system of the tracker, B represents the pose of the camera in the world coordinate system constructed by the calibration board, and Z represents a conversion matrix from the world coordinate system to the HTC vive coordinate system. The “world” shown in FIG. 3 represents the world coordinate system, that is, the coordinate system of the checkerboard or the calibration board. A, X, Z, and B are all 4*4 matrices. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, after the time registration, the pose of the vive tracker and of the camera are satisfied with the following relationship:

AX=ZB  (1)

7) Optimizing the re-projection error by repeating steps 5)-6) in a from coarse to fine manner. A time difference value corresponding to the smallest re-projection error is obtained.

Usually, the vive is connected to a computer. There is usually a time difference since the system time of the computer is different from the system time of the mobile phone, a time difference exists between data acquisition time of the vive and that of the mobile phone. Referring to FIG. 2, the specific steps of adjusting the time difference are in the following:

7a) Firstly, setting a larger time difference and a corresponding time interval for data selection. For example, the initial value of a time difference is set to ±5 s, the corresponding time interval is set to 0.5 s, and a time difference value is taken every interval of 0.5 s between ±5 s. The selected time difference values are ±5 s, ±4.5 s, ±4 s, . . . , 0. The re-projection error are optimized by repeating the steps 5)-6) based on these selected time difference values. The time difference value corresponding to the smallest re-projection error is obtained.

7b) Adjusting the time difference in a from coarse to fine manner. For example, in a case that the obtained time difference value corresponding to the smallest re-projection error in step 7 a) is 3 s, in the second cycle of the flow, the time difference and the corresponding time interval of the current cycle are reset according to the last result. For example, the time difference value can be set to 2.4 s-3.6 s and the time interval to 0.2 seconds, the time difference values selected in this cycle are then 2.4 s, 2.6 s, 2.8 s, . . . 3.6 s, and the re-projection error is optimized by repeating the steps 5)-6) according to these selected time difference values. The time difference value corresponding to the smallest re-projection error is obtained.

7c) Proceeding in this way, when the accuracy requirement is met, the loop is stopped and the time difference value corresponding to the smallest re-projection error is obtained.

As above seven steps, calibration for X, Z and the two acquisition time differences are performed by capturing the checkerboard by means of the mobile phone.

8) Obtaining a camera pose during image acquisition by capturing an actual usage scenario, for example, typical interactive scenarios for an AR user such as a desktop, ground and the like, and performing a corresponding conversion of the pose of the vive tracker in terms of time and space by the following formula:

B _(j) =Z ⁻¹ A _(j) X

So far, the construction of the monocular vision camera tracking database is completed.

FIG. 4 is flowchart of a monocular vision tracking method according to another preferred embodiment of the present application. With reference to FIG. 1-FIG. 4, in one embodiment of a monocular vision tracking method according to the present application, in step S130 of FIG. 1, the obtaining a conversion parameter between the first camera pose and the second camera pose specifically includes steps S210, S220 and S230. In step S210, acquiring corresponding data of the first camera pose and of the second camera pose according to a set time difference between system time of the camera and system time of the wireless tracker, and obtaining an optimal conversion matrix and an optimal re-projection error in the case of the time difference by using a hand-eye calibration for registration, wherein the optimal conversion matrix is a conversion matrix corresponding to the smallest re-projection error in the case of the time difference, and the optimal re-projection error corresponds to the optimal conversion matrix; in step S220, adjusting the time difference, and determining the time difference corresponding to the optimal re-projection error with the smallest value, as the system time difference; and in step S230, determining the optimal conversion matrix in the case of the system time difference, as the conversion parameter between the first camera pose and the second camera pose; wherein the conversion matrix includes a conversion matrix between a coordinate system of a pose of the camera and a coordinate system of a pose of the wireless tracker, a conversion matrix between a coordinate system of a calibration board and a coordinate system of a base station; the base station is configured to track a position of the wireless tracker; in step S140 in FIG. 1, the converting a first capturing pose into a second capturing pose by means of the conversion parameter when a scenario is captured includes: converting the first capturing pose into the second capturing pose by using the conversion parameter and the system time difference in a usage scenario.

Specifically, detailed steps of the obtaining a conversion parameter between the first camera pose and the second camera pose are as described in steps 6)-8) above in an usage scenario, in which the mobile phone is used as the camera and the HTC vive tracker is used as the wireless tracker.

The above step 6): fixing the time difference, performing the hand-eye calibration, and performing the optimization by means of the re-projection error may be further divided into the following steps:

6a) Obtaining data corresponding to the time from the data acquired by the vive and the camera.

For example, a camera capture frequency is 30 fps, and the frame rate of the vive to obtain data is 250 Hz. Therefore, it is necessary to extract data from the data acquired by the vive which has the same time as the camera, according to the assumed time difference. Since there is inevitably a time difference between the two, the interpolation algorithm can be selected to calculate the pose of the vive at that time.

With reference to FIG. 4 again, in one possible implementation, in step S210 of FIG. 4, the acquiring corresponding data of the first camera pose and of the second camera pose includes: extracting data, an acquisition time difference of which is less than a predetermined time difference threshold, from the data of the first camera pose in an interpolation algorithm according to the set time difference, wherein the acquisition time difference is the difference between acquisition time of the first camera pose and acquisition time of the second camera pose; using the extracted data of the first camera pose and data of the second camera pose corresponding to the extracted data of the first camera pose, as the corresponding data of the first camera pose and of the second camera pose respectively. The predetermined time difference threshold can be set according to an accuracy requirement.

6b) Converting the coordinate system of the pose of the camera and the coordinate system of the pose of the HTC into a unified coordinate system.

The coordinate system of the HTC vive is a left-hand coordinate system, and the coordinate system of the result of the camera calibration is a right-hand coordinate system. Here, the coordinate system of the vive is converted into a right-hand coordinate system. A correspondence between the left and right hand coordinate system conversion is as follows:

The correspondence of spatial positions is:

(x, y, Z)→(−x, y, z)

The correspondence between the spatial pose quaternions is:

(r_(x),r_(y),r_(z),r_(w))→(−r_(x),r_(y),r_(z),−r_(w))

6c) Obtaining initial values of X and Z.

From AX=ZB, it may be derived that ΔAX=XΔB, wherein ΔA=A_(i) ⁻¹A_(i+1), ΔB=B_(i) ⁻¹B_(i+1), i∈[0,n−1], n is the number of selected datum.

So, the initial value of X may be resolved based on SVD (Singular value decomposition).

The initial value of Z may be obtained from A₀X=ZB₀.

6d) Optimizing the re-projection error.

The camera pose corresponding to the i-th frame image is B_(i) ⁻¹, the positions of angular points on the checkerboard of the calibration board in the world coordinate system are denoted as {{right arrow over (χ)}_(k)|k∈[0,N−1] } N is the number of the angular points used on the checkerboard. Detected positions of the angular points on an image i are denoted as a {{right arrow over (x)}_(ik)|k∈[0,N−1]}, and the camera parameters are K_(i)|i∈[0,n−1]. The re-projection error formula is:

min Σ_(i=1) ^(n-1)Σ_(k=0) ^(N-1) ∥K _(i) B _(i) ⁻¹{right arrow over (χ)}_(k) −{right arrow over (x)} _(ik)∥

Because of A_(i)X=ZB_(i), B_(i)=Z⁻¹A_(i)X, from this, the formula above is converted into:

$\min\limits_{X,Z,K}{\sum_{i = o}^{n - 1}{\sum_{k = o}^{N - 1}{{{{K_{i}X^{- 1}A_{i}^{- 1}Z\; {\overset{\rightarrow}{\chi}}_{k}} - {\overset{\rightarrow}{x}}_{ik}}}.}}}$

In the above formula, it may be assumed that the camera model K corresponding to each frame of image is the same. Further, the K is firstly estimated by a camera calibration, and then X and Z are determined. Both X and Z are 6 degrees of freedom. Generally, an object has six degrees of freedom in space, that is, the degrees of freedom of movement in three orthogonal coordinate axes of x, y, and z, and the degrees of freedom of rotation about these three coordinate axes. The degrees of freedom may be obtained by the Gauss Newton method.

Specifically, the converting the coordinate system of the pose of the camera and the coordinate system of the pose of the wireless tracker into a unified coordinate system includes: converting the coordinate system of the pose of the wireless tracker into a right-hand coordinate system.

In the above technical solution, the re-projection error is used as a determination criterion, which has the following advantages or beneficial effects: the re-projection error is optimized by adjusting the time difference, and the time difference corresponding to the smallest re-projection error is determined as the system time difference between the system time of the camera and the system time of the wireless tracker, so that the constructed true value of the camera pose is more accurate, and the simulation effect of the user usage scenario is better.
